Fruit Leather

For Christmas Landon's parents gave us a wonderful food dryer. We were so excited about it and it has been running constantly since we got it. We have made beef jerky, dried apples, and our very favorite thing has been the fruit leather. I have to make it at least once or twice a week since it gets devoured so quickly.

It is super simple if you want to make some. Just get a couple of cans or bottles of fruit, drain the juice off of them, and then blend them up. If you want to you can add a little bit of Karo Syrup at this point but you don't need to. If you do blend again. Make sure your fruit leather sheets have been greased with vegetable or olive oil and then pour on the fruit and spread it out evenly. 6-10 hours later you have a super yummy and very nutritious snack. My kids LOVE it! I usually cut each sheet into 4-6 pieces and roll them up just like a fruit roll up. We have made apricot, peach, and pear and even mixed a few of them. The kids keep saying they can't wait until summer so we can have strawberry.
